I am debating whether or not to buy it used off of amazon.com. Most of the reviews have been negative.

And since I know Flex has the tendency to lie/embellish I don't know if I want to waste 10 bucks.

10 bucks is a lot of money. You could buy two spoiled trunks from dereks forum.

I've heard it has some lies and involves a lot of self-pity/blaming others for everything. Haven't read it though. Might be interesting just for the names he drops, but you never know what's real and what's fake.

Buy it. What the hell. It maybe good for a few laughs. Heck, you can easily spend $10 on a bad movie.

Once you're done reading it, send it to me.......

I read it and enjoyed it

I assume he was truthful throughout becuase he didn't mention ninjas

People talk about getting all these other bodybuilders on here, I'd like to see Flex here. Hearing from him and possibly him sharing some stories might open our eyes a bit more on the man.

I thought he had stopped doing that. Honestly I think the guy needs therapy if he hasn't gone already. I don't know if I want to read all what he has to say because I'm sure there was some rewriting of history going on

It would probably depend on who he decided to be that day.

And not trying to be funny but he doesn't have good writing skills. You guys would rip him a new one for that alone...aside from the ninjas.

Didn't he say that he routinely received $30,000 for guest posing?

Buy it..what the hell it's only 10 bones. I thought it was pretty good.

ironneck · « **Reply #13 on:** May 22, 2006, 04:42:59 AM »

that should be the main reason

Do a search on eBay. You can buy the book new for as low as $7.53.

I'm a hardcore Flex Wheeler fan so I bought it regardless but I've heard/read that even his book is TOTALLY untruthful. Has some lies in it as well.

Bolo · « **Reply #16 on:** May 22, 2006, 05:53:30 AM »

i bought it.....its entertainment man..wheather its all true or not..i recommend it as a used book.

Sculpter · « **Reply #17 on:** May 22, 2006, 06:14:33 AM »

Just go buy Muscular Development.Since Flex seems to always have to compare himself & his by gone days to the now competing pros in each & every 1 of his contest reports, etc it should be just as entertaining to you as reading the mans bio.MD will cost you less money also

rocket · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2006, 06:17:31 AM »

If you have a problem with giving flex some money buy it used.

I get the feeling quite a few of you regretted lining his pockets with some change upon completion.

alexxx · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2006, 11:10:39 AM »

Can one of you maybe type the book out here for me? Thanks!

Sure...

I lost my virginity to a hot older chick when I was 12, stunk at football, took up bodybuilding, got attacked by ninja's, took a bunch of diuretics and locked down a few times, never won the Olympia, retired after wasting possibly the best genetics ever because I preferred to binge on McDonalsds instead of sticking to a diet (shhhh, don't tell anybody but I did this as a scapegoat because I'm afriad of failure) and now I'm a kick ass MMA fighter with a bunch of shitty tattoos.

ironneck · « **Reply #21 on:** May 22, 2006, 11:33:46 AM »

he is very critical with himself

Royalty · « **Reply #22 on:** May 22, 2006, 11:40:05 AM »

Dont buy it. I read it in one day back in 2003.

He says he was molested as a child, tried to kill himself, used roids from high school on, became a bouncer, lived off of some women in Venice so he could train full time, became a top pro, talks about the car accident after an orgy, had health problems, he then turned to God, then he lies about being natural at the 2002 Olympia.

No names are really dropped by the way.

Yup. That's the book right there.
